The Cobalt Apex Set pairs the Takefu VG-10 cobalt cutting shear with its matching thinning companion, both built on the same cobalt platform and carrying the reinforced-tip geometry of the Apex line. Stylists committing to point-centric cutting find both blades move as one through detailed work. Materials-checked by our scissor specialists and hand-inspected one at a time at our Saitama facility in Japan, the set is tension-matched so both pieces share the same pivot feel from the first use.
